Steph R. Long (Stephanie Long), Chopra-certified health and meditation instructor and former Deputy Director of Enterprise for Refinery29 Unbothered

Hi! I’m Steph, FOUNDER OF SRL WELL-BEING.

I’m a certified Ayurvedic health educator, meditation instructor and well-being coach residing on Miccosukee and Seminole land.

You might recognize me as the former Deputy Director of Enterprise for Refinery29's Unbothered, where I championed conversations around health, wellness, and spirituality. Or, you might be familiar with my podcast, In Case Nobody Told You, where I aim to uplift, empower, and ground listeners on their wellness journeys.

Today, as an Embodiment Facilitator, I guide individuals on transformative journeys to reconnect with their bodies and minds at a soul level. My work is rooted in Ayurveda, meditation, and holistic well-being, creating spaces where clients feel empowered to liberate themselves from limitations and embody their true essence. I believe that personal liberation is a catalyst for collective healing and transformation.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to reminding the collective of our inherent wisdom and brilliance. As we reclaim these truths, we transcend the legacies of colonialism and societal conditioning that have long sought to diminish our worth. My approach centers the understanding that healing and liberation are not only individual but deeply collective, and that true wellness is rooted in our ability to remember who we are and what we are capable of.

My wellness journey began in 2018 with my Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) diagnosis. Mindfulness and meditation became my anchors, helping me navigate anxiety and show up fully for myself and others. In 2021, my path deepened when I enrolled in Chopra’s coaching program via the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and discovered Ayurveda. This experience sparked my passion for understanding how daily choices influence well-being and how sharing this wisdom could inspire healing on both individual and collective levels.

Through SRL Well-Being, I center BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, holding space for them to reconnect with their innate wisdom and reclaim wellness in a world where it has often been commodified and distorted. While I don’t share lineage with every practice I teach, I approach this work with respect, gratitude, and a commitment to honoring its roots and accessibility.

Thank you for being here.


My Approach

In the Vedic tradition, forgetting our true selves is seen as the root of suffering. My work as an embodiment facilitator is to help you remember your innate wholeness, wisdom, and potential. You are complete—just as you are. Together, we’ll work to uncover and embody that truth.

Discover. align. embody.

We’ll begin by exploring where you are right now and clarifying where you want to be. Through thoughtful conversation, we’ll assess your current state of well-being and set clear, meaningful intentions for your journey. This process isn’t about forcing change—it’s about honoring your unique needs and aligning with practices that feel authentic and nourishing.

Drawing on Ayurveda, meditation, breathwork, and embodied practices, I’ll guide you in integrating habits and rituals that support your growth. These practices are designed to help you feel grounded, clear, and connected to yourself, creating a strong foundation for lasting transformation.

Step Into your potential

This journey is about reconnecting with your essence and cultivating a deeper relationship with yourself. As you integrate these practices, you’ll notice shifts: feeling more balanced, more present, and better equipped to navigate life with clarity and purpose. From this grounded space, you’ll find yourself ready to step fully into your potential and make a meaningful impact—not just in your life but in the world around you.
